ヨハネの黙示録 11
1 斯て我杖の如き葦の測量竿與へられて謂れけるは、起きよ、神の聖殿と祭壇と、其處に禮拝する人々とを度れ。
Then I was given a measure like a rod, and a voice said to me — ‘Go and measure the Temple of God and the altar, and count the worshiper there.
2 然れど殿外の庭は、措きて之を度ること勿れ、其は異邦人に委ねられたればなり。而して彼等は四十二箇月の間、聖なる都を踏荒さんとす。
But omit the court outside the Temple, and do not measure that, for it has been given up to the nations; and the holy City will be under their heel for forty-two months.
3 我わが二個の證人に力を與へん、斯て彼等毛衣を着て、一千二百六十日の間預言すべし。
Then I will give permission to my Two Witnesses, and for those twelve hundred and sixty days they will continue teaching, clothed in sackcloth.’
4 彼等は地の主の御前に立てる二の橄欖樹、二の燈台なり。
These men are represented by ‘the two olive trees and the two lamps that stand before the Lord of the earth.’
5 若是等を害せんとする人あらば、火其口より出でて其敵を亡ぼさん。若彼等を傷はんとする人あらば、斯の如くにして亡ぼさるべし。
When any one wishes to harm them, ‘fire comes from their mouths and consumes their enemies’; and whoever wishes to harm them will, in this way, inevitably perish.
6 彼等は預言する間、雨をして降らざらしむべく、天を閉づる力あり、又水をして血に變ぜしめ、思ふが儘に幾度も有らゆる天災を以て地を打つの力あり。
These men have the power to close the heavens, that ‘no rain may fall’ during the time that they are teaching; and they have power ‘to turn the streams into blood, and to smite the land with any Curse,’ whenever they will.
As soon as they have completed their testimony, ‘the wild Beast that ascends from the bottomless pit will make war upon them and conquer’ and kill them. (Abyssos g12)
8 其屍は例へばソドマともエジプトとも名づけらるる大都會、即ち彼等の主の十字架に釘けられ給ひし所の衢に遺らん。
Their dead bodies will lie in the streets of the great City, which is mystically spoken of as ‘Sodom’ and ‘Egypt,’ where their Master was crucified.
9 且諸族、諸民、諸語、諸國に属する人、三日半の間其屍を見るも之を墓に収むるを許さじ。
Men of all peoples, and tribes, and languages, and nations look at their dead bodies for three days and a half, and do not allow them to be laid in a grave.
10 地上に住める人は之が為に歓樂しみ、且互に禮物を贈らん、其は彼二人の預言者地上の人を苦しめたればなり。
Those who live on the earth rejoice over them and are merry, and they will send presents to one another, because these two Prophets brought torments upon those who live on the earth.
11 然れども三日半の後は、生命の霊神よりして彼等に入り、彼等足にて立ち、之を見たる人々は大いに懼を懐きしが、
After three days and a half ‘the life-giving breath of God entered these men, and they stood up upon their feet,’ and a great terror took possession of those who were watching them.
12 天より大いなる聲聞えて、此處に昇れと言ひしかば、彼等雲に乗りて天に昇り、彼等之を見たり。
The two men heard a loud voice from Heaven which said to them — ‘Come up here,’ and they went up to Heaven in the cloud, while their enemies watched them.
13 尚其時大いなる地震ありて、市の十分の一は倒れ、七千人の人地震の為に殺され、殘れる者は懼しさに堪へず、天の神に光榮を歸し奉れり。
At that very time a great earthquake occurred. A tenth part of the city fell, and seven thousand people perished in the earthquake. Those who escaped were much terrified, and praised the God of Heaven.
14 第二の禍過去りて第三の禍将に來らんとす。
The second Woe has passed; and there is a third Woe soon to follow!
15 第四款 第七の喇叭神の國を報ず 第七の天使喇叭を吹きしかば、天に大いなる聲響きて言ひけるは、此世の國は我主と其キリストとのものと成りたれば、世々に限なく統治し給ふべし、アメン、と。 (aiōn g165)
Then the seventh angel blew; and loud voices were heard in Heaven saying — ‘The Kingdom of the World has become the Kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ, and he will reign for ever and ever.’ (aiōn g165)
16 是に於て神の御前に、己が座に坐し居たりし廿四人の翁、平伏して神を禮拝し、
At this the twenty-four Councillors, who were seated on their thrones before God, prostrated themselves on their faces and worshiped Him,
17 然て言ひけるは、曾て在し、今も在し、且來り給ふべき全能の神にて在す主よ、我等汝に感謝し奉る、其は、己が大いなる能力を執りて統治し給へばなり。
saying — ‘We thank thee, O Lord, our God, the Almighty, who art and who wast, that thou hast assumed thy great power and reigned.
18 諸國民怒を起したるに、主の御怒亦來れり、且死者審判せられて、主の僕なる預言者、聖人等、及び大小を問はず御名を畏める人々に報を與へ、地上を腐敗せしめたる人々を亡ぼし給ふ時來れり、と。
The nations were enraged, and thy Wrath fell upon them; the time came for the dead to be judged, and for thee to give the reward to thy servants the Prophets, and to the People of Christ, and to those who reverence thy Name — the high and the low alike — and to destroy those who are destroying the earth.’
19 斯て天に於て神の聖殿開け、神の契約の櫃其聖殿に現れ、電光と多くの聲と地震と大いなる雹と起れり。
Then the Temple of God in Heaven was opened, and the Ark containing his Covenant was seen in his Temple; and there followed ‘flashes of lightning, cries, peals of thunder,’ an earthquake, and ‘a great storm of hail.’
